  I asked a question like this months ago - unfortunately I never
got around to implementing the answer and the answer has been lost.

  I work on a vax 8600 running Ultrix with a vt100. 
I like my terminal set up with black letters on white 
background. Certain programs (rn,emacs with a visible bell etc) 
try to tell me that I have goofed when I goof
by blinking the terminal. This causes the terminal to go into
the other mode (white letters - dark background) and stay there.
To go back to black letters-white background I have to go into
set up mode and re-adjust things. Needless to say, early in
the mornings, on bad days etc I can spend some time readjusting
things. There is something I can do to fix this but I don't
remember what it was. This is not a big deal, or a major emergency
but I would appreciate some advice. Thank you.
